The CAC is Proud to Be the Fiscal Sponsor of DEALERS - a film being made in Huntington

The Cinema Arts Centre is proud to introduce its members to a film being shot, here in Huntington, this November. DEALERS is directed by Huntingtonian Daniel Moya (whose film, 18 1/2 premiered at CAC).

DEALERS is a dark comedy that follows the lives and antics of a group of antique dealers trying to get by in an ever changing world while clinging to -and selling- the past. 

They're also looking for a home for a ten foot taxidermied grizzly bear.

The film will be shot in antique stores in Huntington and Northport, namely Rosie's Vintage and Funk and Swagger Antiques. The Thaler brothers, also Huntingtonian natives, are producing the film along with Daniel Moya from a screenplay written by Mano Cris, one of the founders of Industry (an art collective, music venue in town). 

The production is a true local venture, with crew, cast and creators all from Long Island. 

The filmmakers hope to raise most of the budget through grassroots efforts and the CAC is committed to complimenting this effort with its fiscal sponsorship of the film. That means that donations to the film are entirely tax-deductible and part of the contributions go directly to CAC.

The film's fundraising philosophy was summed up by its producers: "We should have a marketing campaign. It should read: 'You're already one in a million; just be one of two thousand.' If two thousand people contribute an average of $150 (which for many people is a lot of money) we can make a truly independent film - and we can make it locally. Instead of 'executive producer so and so' the title card would read 'produced by the people of Long Island'. That would be something to see."

The film will have its local premiere at CAC and contributors will be invited.
